Xiao Ling laughed twice and didn't say anything more.

Looking at his father's attitude, it was obvious that he hadn't forgiven his mother's persuasion a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't have belittled a person in front of so many people, especially his buddies.

It seems that things are a bit difficult this time.

She frowned and walked to the side, shook her head slightly at Zhang Xiuqin, and motioned for her not to speak yet, which made Su Qi disgusted.

Zhang Xiuqin sighed helplessly, even though she didn't dare in her heart, she had to follow her daughter's instructions, keep her mouth shut, and never mention the matter of the house.

"Dad, Lu Li and I are going to Yamen, and we may not be able to come back until late, don't worry about us." Xiaoman instructed.

Hearing this, Su Qi got up and asked, "Are you going to the Yamen?" What are you doing in Yamen, how can you come back so late? ”

Yes, my father didn't know what happened when they first came to Taoyuan County, Xiao Man explained the cause and effect of the incident, and said, "Let's go see how that matter is handled, don't wait for us." ”

Su Qi nodded, and instructed uneasily: "Then you should be careful, Lu Li, you stop Xiaoman, don't let her offend people impulsively." ”

"Got it, don't worry."

The two left Xiaoling's shop and walked straight in the direction of the yamen.

Two or three days have passed since the incident, presumably the county should have dealt with the matter a long time ago, right? Even if he has an old affection for those two thieves, and is caught by Lu Li at this time, he should know the severity and enforce the law impartially.

After all, Lu Li threatened with the black gauze hat on his head, whether it was an important minister of the court or a petty official like the county Cheng, the most important thing was the black yarn on his head.

When I arrived at the county office, I saw the county man running from afar before I entered the door, and when I got in front of the two, the county man couldn't say half a word, and he was snorting and panting.

Finally waiting for the county to catch his breath, Xiao Man and the others had been waiting outside the yamen for a while.

"Duke Lu Guo, Duchess Guo." The county man bowed his hand and bowed and said: "You two are here, and you are disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Lu Li waved his hand and said a little impatiently: "How did the two thieves interrogate last time, how do you plan to punish them?" ”

The county man smiled and avoided talking about it: "The two of you are tired of coming from afar, right?" If the two of them don't dislike it, they will go to ask someone to prepare a sedan chair now, so as not to make it hard for the two to walk, what do you say? ”

Xiao Man next to him frowned, slightly dissatisfied: "We are here to ask how the two thieves were handled, and we don't have time to go to your mansion to eat." ”

"If the two of them don't want to go to the lowly mansion, then they can also go to Cuidingxuan in the city, although the food there is not in Beijing, but it also has a special characteristic, otherwise, the lowly can also invite the two to ......" The county Cheng said a lot of long-winded, always thinking about the law to invite two people to dinner, but never mentioned the matter of the two thieves.

The more Lu Li listened, the tighter the two sword eyebrows wrinkled. If it weren't for the fact that this county Cheng had a history of secretly letting go of the thieves, he would not have come to Yamen to make a special trip, but who knew that he had come here, but the county Cheng talked about him left and right, and didn't mention the matter of the two thieves at all.

Could it be that the county Cheng secretly let those two people go again?

After thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't bear to interrupt the county Cheng, and said coldly with a straight face: "County Cheng, let me ask you, how did you deal with those two thieves?" ”

"This... Well...... "The county grabbed the back of his head, and suddenly a wisp of embarrassment shrouded his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Xiao Man also sensed something wrong, and she forced to ask: "How did you deal with those two people, did you let them go again?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the county man waved his hand again and again, his body bent lower, he drooped his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly lowered several degrees, "Those two people... They... They, that ......"

"What the hell is going on?!" Lu Li asked in a deep voice.

Xian Cheng's body trembled, raised his head and glanced at Lu Li quickly, then swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and said in an extremely low voice; "They... Escaped from prison......"

Escape from prison?!

Lu Lideng was furious, he grabbed the collar of the county prince, kicked the other party with his eyes, and his voice was full of anger: "How did you become a county official, you can't even look at two little thieves?!" They don't even know martial arts, how can they escape from prison?! ”

If his guess is right, it must be that this county Cheng accepted the benefits of those two people again and secretly let them go!

After all, he and Xiaoman will not stay here for a long time, and when they leave, those two thieves can naturally come out again to make trouble, this county Cheng, what a big boldness!

"Guogong... Grandpa Guo spares his life! The county man went back to the house with his arms in a hurry, shouting at the top of his voice: "I don't know how they escaped, Grandpa Guo, it's none of my business that they escaped, it really has nothing to do with me!" ”

Lu Li only used three points of strength, because he was afraid that this was still at the gate of the yamen, so he did not completely carry the county into the air, so the county had the opportunity to yell like this. However, after the county Cheng said that this matter had nothing to do with him, Lu Li suddenly increased his strength, completely lifted the county Cheng into the air, forced him to leave his feet off the ground, and could no longer shout indiscriminately.

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem, Guogong... Grandpa Guo spares his life......"

Seeing that the other party could still speak, Lu Li exerted his strength again, and his thumb and middle finger directly choked the other party's throat.

Xian Cheng's face was the color of pig's liver, and the strength of his limbs was getting smaller and smaller, he stared at Lu Li with wide eyes, his mouth was opened to the maximum, but he couldn't make any sound, he left two lines of tears helplessly, and his eyes were full of begging.

The observer guarding the door also ran over, and wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only wait dryly on the side in a hurry, and didn't dare to say a word.

Gradually, the officials in the yamen all ran out, some watched the show, and some frowned and were in a hurry, and they circled around Lu Li.

Lu Li looked at him coldly for a while, until he estimated that the time was almost up, then he shook off the county and leaned over and said coldly; "Those two people, where did they go, did you let them go?"

"It's... Ahem, ahem... I let it go......" The county Cheng lay on the ground and shook like a sifting of chaff, facing Lu Li's questioning, where did he dare to tell a lie, so he nodded like a chicken pecking rice and admitted, "They have a relationship with me... Ahem, it's a good relationship, I... I can't bear to ......"

He thought it was nothing, no matter how big Lu Li's power was, he was a person, and he was a man.

The county innocently thought that as long as he invited Lu Li to have a meal before he found out about it, and then called a few beauties to serve him, even if Lu Li was iron-faced and selfless, he should be merciful to his subordinates.

It's just that this county didn't expect that Lu Li not only didn't eat this set, but was also very disgusted.

He trembled and fell to the ground, almost frightened by such a Lu Li.

Looking at the appearance of the county Cheng, Xiao Man also glared at the county Cheng angrily, as if there was a fire burning in his heart.

The county and the thief are people on two roads, and now this county Cheng dares to say that he has a good relationship with the thief, isn't this admitting from the side that he has accepted bribes from the thief? How daring!

They are still in Taoyuan County, this county is so bold to let go of the thieves, if it weren't for Lu Li's unease, he came to the Yamen to take a look, presumably those two thieves will continue to commit crimes in the future!

"Within three days, those two thieves must be recaptured, and if they run away again, they will take your head!"

Throwing down a sentence, Lu Li took Xiaoman and left.

No matter how small the county is, it is also an official of the imperial court, although he is a national prince, but he does not have the right to dispose of the officials of the imperial court.

Xiao Man naturally knew this, so after leaving the yamen, she took Lu Li's hand and asked sideways: "In case he really can't catch those two people in the past three days, do you really want to kill that county Cheng?" “

"Of course not." Lu Li has completely changed compared to before, his eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and he is reluctant to use too much strength to hold Xiaoman's hand, and even his voice is gentle, as if he is afraid of scaring the woman next to him.

"Three days later—" Xiao Man paused, raised his head to look at the man, frowned slightly, and had a little worry in his eyes.

Lu Li glanced sideways at the woman, and only laughed lightly, "Let's talk about this matter later." ”

There are a lot of people outside, and there are many people who know their identities, in case someone leaks the content of the conversation between the two, wouldn't it give that county a chance? Such a confidential matter can only be said when you go back.

Xiaoman nodded obediently and said nothing all the way.

When they returned to Xiao Ling's house, the atmosphere in the house was strange, and Xiao Ling and Zhang Xiuqin rarely went to the front to help, but sat on both sides of Su Qi, and it seemed that they were talking, but the two of them came back, so they were forced to stop.

Without waiting for Xiao Man to ask, Xiao Ling took the lead and said enthusiastically: "Sister, how are things going in the Yamen, are they still going well?" What are the two thieves going to do? ”

"It's nothing, we'll have to go again in a few days." Xiao Man walked to the side and poured himself a cup of tea, and asked casually, "What did you just say, why didn't we talk about it as soon as we came in?" ”

Xiao Ling smiled, and when she didn't know what to say, Su Qi got up abruptly and left angrily with a black face.

"Daddy! Do you come back for dinner at noon? Xiao Ling asked Su Qi's back.

Su Qi's footsteps paused slightly, and then he roared angrily: "I'm back to Bishui Village!" ”

The atmosphere in the room became more and more embarrassing, Xiaoman put down the teacup, turned to look at Zhang Xiuqin in confusion, and frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Who knows what your father is angry about, inexplicable!" Zhang Xiuqin also had a bad face and spoke hard.

After saying this, Zhang Xiuqin snorted coldly again, and immediately got up and left.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling laughed dryly, pretending that her shop was still busy, so she also followed Zhang Xiuqin's footsteps forward.

Xiao Man sighed and looked at the back door of the store in a daze, what happened just now, could it be that Zhang Xiuqin mentioned buying a house with her father again?
